I spent too many years of my life ironing away something that made me ME. I want you to have a different experience without the years and years of troubleshooting I endured. I used to spend excruciatingly long hours in my bathroom with a flat iron after wrestling with a frizzy mess wanting to scream. Yeah… it’s a universal experience when you have curly hair. The tears when it just never feels like it looks right is normal. The sinking feeling when you catch yourself in a reflection mid-day and realize it’s not exactly straight anymore and has taken on a weird shape is normal. Looking at someone else’s hair filled with envy because you’ll NEVER be able to get your hair to look like that for more than an hour. It’s torture. It really is. It wasn’t until I realized I was actually the one torturing myself that it sunk in… my natural hair needs to be treated differently to look good. When I finally found a routine that highlighted my curls instead of hiding them, my entire world opened up (literally, because my every thought stopped being about my hair). There were no more tears because having a “bad hair day” only happened once in a while (and weren’t NEARLY as bad) When I caught myself in a reflection, I’d actually be shocked at how well the shape and volume held and suits my face naturally. Believe it or not, I was the one who was receiving compliments from others because “their hair could never look like that”. All I wanted was to be someone else. Someone who had straight, boring hair and fit in with what was “in”. I wish I could go back and tell her that her curly hair was beautiful… That when you embrace your natural beauty, you may not look trendy, but you take on a timeless beauty others can only dream of. . . . loveyourlocks naturalcurls curlyhairlove curltransformation lovingyourhair
